TDOT Announcing Two Road Construction Projects that will Have an Impact on Traffic

The Tennessee Department of Transportation says a road construction project on Lovell Road in Knox County will have a temporary impact on traffic.

Beginning Sunday there will be lane closures on Lovell Road between Kingston Pike and Pellissippi Parkway to allow crews to mill and resurface the road.

These lane closures will be in place nightly Sundays through Thursdays between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. All road work is expected to be complete on or before September 29th.

TDOT says a road construction project on Alcoa Highway in Knox County will also have a temporary impact on traffic.

Beginning Sunday, the northbound right lane on Alcoa Highway will be closed between Woodson Drive and Cherokee Trail while crews install a temporary rock catchment fence. This closure will be in place nightly between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. through Thursday.

In addition, next week the contractor may utilize traffic pacing operations to move equipment and perform various work activities. These will be intermittent daily between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and should have a minimal impact on traffic.
